Road preservation is an early life preventative treatment which stops water ingress and surface deterioration on roads that are still in a good condition.
As part of the life of a carriageway, the road surface will become oxidised with microcracking beginning to form and leading to an increase of minor surface imperfections.
Road Preservation is a low-cost early life intervention to seal micro-cracks and prevent water ingress from causing more severe damage.
Road preservation is a relatively quick process that requires dry weather.
On the day, the road is swept and is immediately followed by a specialist truck which sprays an asphalt liquid onto the road surface to seal micro-cracking and prevent water ingress from causing more pronounced damage – leading to potholes.
Once the treatment has set, traffic is allowed back onto the carriageway.
This treatment is usually used on higher speed roads and takes place within a road or lane closure. Due to the types of roads being treated, closures will be overnight wherever possible to minimise disruption on these busy routes.
To minimise disruption, there are a few things you can do to help us.
